Advert says up to 3TB drives, will it work with 4TB drives?
40288
This WILL work with drives larger than 3TB. I have one of the new 8TB SeaGate drives in one and it works perfectly.

I am not certain about the drives with capacities >2 TB but I think it is possible that with the right adjustments it could work with 3 or 4 TB I am not for certain tho

Do not know...I don't have anything over 2TB in my system. You probably want to contact Thermaltake directly before purchasing....

No, it won't. I contacted Thermaltake with a similar question. Here is their reply: "The Max 5g (ST0020U) can only read hard drives up to 3TB. There is no firmware update for the system to work with 4TB hard drives. Please check out the BlacX 5g (ST0019). This is another Thermaltake docking station that is compatible with up to 4TB hard drives"

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! Our U3 dock should support a 4TB SATA drive. If you have an older dock you might need a firmware update: http://plugable.com/2013/03/05/usb3-sata-u3-firmware-update

I have 4 Western Digital Red 3TB drives in mine. It has been running non-stop since I bought it. The best investment I've made in computer hardware in long time. Segate and Western digital will both work in it. Not sure if differnt size drives will work though.

I just have a 2 TB drive in it at the moment. If it says that 4 TB is the limit, you probably should respect that. I have found that docking bases tend to top out at 4 TB as well, so maybe that's the current limit.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards.Hope this helps

To add to that answer, yes, which is how I set mine up. I have 4 3TB Drives from an older MacPro and just popped them in and was good to go!

the largest drive i'm using with this is 2TB, but I see no reason why 4TB shouldn't work, as long as you have 64 bit windows.

My drive is a 1 TB drive, I purchased this housing because it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Sorry I don't know about a 4TB drive.

As to specifically handling a 3TB drive, I can not state, although the unit will handle a combined total of 16TB, I have a 2.5 TB drive in my unit and it works very well

Yes - I have several of 4TB Seagate drives as well as a number of 3TB and other sizes. I have not had any problems.

No, I am using it in a non-raid setup. I did try to use it with a 2 TB drive as a 4th drive. It didn't work. I then put a 500 MB drive on it and it worked. I put the 2 TB directly on a standard sata port.

If it specifies the capacity (eg, 2TB, 4TB) then yes. It can definitely handle up to two 2TB drives, unsure about the newer larger drives. Otherwise is should say "diskless".

I just wanted to add that RAID 1 means 2 3TB drives will show up as 3TB (not 6TB) as it is a "mirrored" solution (and what I would recommend). So the MAX capacity in that set up is 4TB.
